What do these clinicians have in common?
They're all part of the innovative, new "Brief Therapy Inside Out" video series- a unique series that puts you directly in the therapy room to watch as leading theapists show their approaches in action.
Each video presents one 45-minute session - unrehearsed and with real clients (not actors!). And each opens with an introductory interview with video series hosts Drs. Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos and the respective guest therpist. In a closing Q&A segment, important moments from each video are replayed to highlight turning points in the therapist-client interaction and key interventions.
This lively format allows viewers to consider when and why particular choices were made in each case, what other options might have beeen available, and what direction future sessions with the client might take. (The running time for each video is about 95 minutes.)
Accept this invitation to sit in on therapy with the masters- and see the promise and the reality of a range of brief therapy approaches.

- ENABLING THERAPEUTIC CHOICES: THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IN REALITY THERAPY
William Glasser, M.D.
"This session, with a woman who is in doubt about marrying her fiancé, helps her to see the pros and cons of being an independent person and of rejecting the pressure of her fiancé and others to marry him. Dr. Glasser beautifully shows this indecisive and anxious woman the realistic advantages and disadvantages of marriage in general and of marriage to this particular fiance specifically. He strongly encourages her to give the question more thought, to experiment with a longer period of close intimacy before actually marrying, and to give serious consideration to the long-term consequences of her too easily committing herself to marrying. He helps her to reduce her anxiety and guilt about not following conventional rules, and tactfully encourages her to make her own final choices and to courageously think for herself. This is, indeed, a realistic and practical example of a typical therapy session with the founder of Reality Therapy and a leading practitionar of Choice Therapy. Both therapists and people who are looking for self-help materials can considerably gain from this excellent videotape."
